If only one person can access the world at a time then the value of the system is severely restricted. Also, it is very important for the VR system to be object oriented and to be able to support run-time addition of new kinds of objects. Therefore, it seems that objective-C and Common Lisp are suitable for such systems. Of course better languages will be developed for this area. -- By Miron Cuperman an.ar.chism \'an-r-,kiz-m, -,r-\ n (1642) 1: a political theory holding all forms of governmental authority to be unnecessary and undesirable and advocating a society based on voluntary cooperation and free association of individuals and groups Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
